Curt Ferdinand Bühler (11 July 1905 – 2 August 1985) was an American librarian and expert of early books who published mainly on the art and history of books printed during the fifteenth century. He took degrees from Yale University (B.A., 1927) and Trinity College, Dublin (Ph.D., 1930). After post-doctoral studies in the University of Munich (1931-1933), he worked as a rare book curator at the Pierpont Morgan Library from 1934 until his formal retirement in 1973. His own collection of manuscripts and early printed books was bequeathed to the same library.
